In Missouri, a county prosecutor has presented DNA evidence suggesting death row inmate Marcellus Williams' innocence, conflicting with the state attorney general's stance. Gage Walter of Omaha was found not responsible by reason of insanity for the murders of his grandmother and great-grandmother, following a competency evaluation highlighting his mental health and drug abuse issues. Similarly, Michael Robert Gese from Tacoma was declared not guilty by reason of insanity for the fatal stabbing of his mother, deemed legally insane at the time of the crime due to schizophrenia and cannabis-use disorder. Meanwhile, Allen Andre Causey's bid for exoneration in a 30-year-old murder case continues, despite a judge ruling he has not proven his innocence, with new DNA evidence and coerced confession allegations being central to the defense.
